Soroptimist International East Bay presents grants to help women with dependents who are pursuing an education/trade to improve their lives..

We also provide funding for grants to women in the final phase of their doctoral degree thereby affirming the importance of the recipients' work and value as an individual in fields traditionally held by men or that have great social importance to the world..

We volunteer our time and provide funding to help local community non-profits better serve women and girls.

Annually we recognize high school female students for their service work in our community.
